Owner and founder of LAC-Group a global managed services and consulting organization specializing in recruiting, managing, nurturing and developing people to work and prosper in positions involving information and content. I started my company as a small temporary agency focusing primarily on law libraries and legal research in response to demand and need from clients in 1986. The company took almost ten years to find a solid base from which to grow, and then our phenomenal growth began with a large law firm outsourcing contract in 1998. We haven't looked back since.
